Chapter 190: Little People Under Big Events
readx;? In Khan Parkes' words, Ian realized bad news. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Count Bell and the others captured a girl who was a sinner, disguised her as Phil, and threatened Khan Parks with it. And long before he left with Phil, he had entrusted Alvin, hoping that he could find a stand-in for Phil and stay in the academy, so as to make the illusion that Phil was still in school.
So, if Count Bell had targeted Phil from the beginning, it was obvious that they had captured this stand-in disguised as Phil. So, early the next morning, he hurried to Alvin's house to confirm the authenticity of this information.
So poor Alvin was dragged out of the bed by his friend.
"So, you want to get her out?" Alvin asked, yawning and angrily holding a cup of coffee that the servant had just prepared. From Ian's mouth, he has learned some of the situation, as well as the other party's intentions.
"Do you know where she's being held?"
"As far as I know, there is a mysterious basement at Earl Bell's house. The young man of Jin nodded, he knew that his bad friends would always have a good heart for some "little people", and often made some choices that were not good or bad. Therefore, after a little hesitation, he persuaded Ian: "But there is no point in saving her now, and maybe the other party has set a trap, Ian, in fact, no one will care if she lives or dies." ”
"I know. Ian closed his eyes and nodded, "But I can't ignore it." ”
The whole plan is being built and implemented step by step, and a person who has been known to be a stand-in, no big man will care whether she lives or dies.
Khan Parkes won't, Lady Amanda won't, and neither will the Marquis of Griffin.
Because in their hearts, such a little person is insignificant at all. In fact, they may not realize in their hearts that there is such a person.
This is the sorrow of a small person.
Ian understands this involuntary sadness, as he has always treated himself as a "little person". What's more, the other party was implicated because of himself, which made him even more unable to turn a blind eye to her. Moreover, the girl was a sinner, and once it was proved that Count Bell was indeed involved in the Black Scales, then her situation would be equally worrisome. Therefore, he had to save this "little man" who didn't even know his name before the plan was carried out, before she could be hurt more.
And seeing this expression of the bad friend, Alvin knew that he had made up his mind. In this regard, he couldn't help but show a complicated expression on his face, both feeling that Ian was a little stupid and faintly relieved by his choice.
"Are you sure?"
"Of course. Ian smiled confidently, since he really broke through to the Sword Saint realm, there was really no place in this northern region that he didn't dare to go. Moreover, he had planned to visit Count Bell's mansion again, but now there was only one more reason.
The members of the investigation team have not yet appeared, and Ian has been speculating that they may be being locked up in Earl Bell's mansion. As the object of his suspicion, Ian was surprised to find that he had never seen each other once, which had to make him feel a little embarrassed. So with the reason for rescuing the sinner, Ian suddenly felt that he really had to go.
And now that he had made up his mind, he naturally did not hesitate any longer, and after asking Alvin for the necessary information, he once again infiltrated the mansion of Count Bell as night fell.
As a Juggernaut trained as an Assassin, it was not difficult for Ian to evade the guards and servants outside the mansion. However, Alvin didn't know where the entrance to the basement of the mansion was, so he had to find it himself.
And before that, he naturally wanted to see what the imaginary enemy he had been talking about looked like?
So, he went around the windowsill outside the house to find the room where Count Bell was, and peeked quietly out of the window. And just the first glance at the other party made him stunned for three seconds.
Count Bell was a little short and stocky, with a blue hair mixed with some white silk, and a pair of small slender eyes, which looked like a fat fox with squinting eyes from a distance. Although it was true that there was a similar description in Alvin's intelligence, Ian couldn't imagine that he actually looked so funny.
And his son, Halenbel, the only heir to the Bell family, is slender and handsome.
If it weren't for the fact that both of them had blue hair, Ian really had to wonder if they were really related by blood.
What is this, a genetic mutation, or the genes on the maternal side are too good, or rather
Looking at the father and son who were talking happily in the room, Ian, who was leaning in the shadow outside the window, couldn't help but speculate maliciously. He crept closer, trying to hear what the two men in the room were talking about. Unfortunately, the windows and doors of this room seemed to be made of some special soundproofing material, so that no sound could be heard, and Ian hated that he had not learned lip language.
Of course, Ian didn't think about taking the opportunity to kill Earl Bell. But the thought only went around in his mind before he threw it out.
Not to mention that he was only suspicious of Count Bell's identity. The mere high-ranking man sitting here let him know that he couldn't kill an earl here quietly. And once the news of Count Bell's murder by the "Night's Watch" spreads, Ms. Amanda, as the warden, is afraid that she will be the first to turn against him.
So, after confirming the location of the two of them and the superior powerhouse, Ian quietly descended and began to search for the entrance to the basement.
He had no real purpose for the trip.
Because of his previous experience, he prioritized a search in the garden of the house. The sublimated perspective is really useful, allowing Ian to see all the movement around him. But it's not omnipotent, it can't detect sounds, and it can't penetrate walls.
Ian didn't know if that would change in the future, but for now, this will wouldn't directly help him find what he was looking for, except for the servants who would allow him to avoid patrols in time.
But fortunately, after experiencing that stagnant world, what he has most is patience and carefulness. And as long as he is willing, he can slowly urge the sword intent, and use a lot of "extra time" to think about the location of the entrance.
